Subject: pine access 2 imap servers?

From: Kiran Anantha <[email-masked]>

Hi,

I recently installed Netscape Mail Server on host2. host1 is the current
imap server machine. If I set my inbox to {host1}, I can access mail on
host1 and if I set it to {host2}, I can read mail from host2.

What I would like to do is set inbox to {host1} and define a
folder-collection for mail on host2 (perhaps as "host2mail {host2}[]" ?!).
But, though I can login I cannot access my mail on host2.(I get an error
saying empty folders). Is there
something wrong with my approach, syntax?

Would appreciate any help/suggestions/pointers to a FAQ ref, etc.
TIA,
Kiran.
P.S: I can do a "g {host2}" and get to my mail on host2, so why can't
{host2}[] be a valid folder.

Are your folders in your home directory on host2?  If not, you need to
specify the path (either absolute or relative to your home directory)
between "{host2}" and "[]".  For details, see

What is the exact error message?

"g {host2}" is equivalent to "g {host2}INBOX" which has special rules
for determining its location.  All other folders are relative to your
home directory.
